Boring fights happen when a wrestler fights a striker and vice versa Ex. UFC 64, Marreo vs Kongo, man that was a boring fight! I actually dozed off in the second round. Elbow strikes that cause referee stoppage is a good thing. Not because I'm a goon who likes to see people get their asses kicked but because it shows that the system works; UFC=As Real As It Gets

Not true, UFC could ban elbows if they want. Pride's upcoming US event will not allow elbows because that is a Pride rule. The reason? Not because it's dangerous but because elbows cause cuts more easily and thus doctor stoppages which don't make for good fights.

It was obvious that I was refering to let fights go on longer and knees to a downed opponent and head stomps.

Elbows are a great way to win a fight. They allow for powerful close-quarters striking. If a guy gets cut because of elbow strikes and bleeds enough for the fight to be stopped then good for the guy who threw the strike(s). It doesn't matter if its Kenny Florian or Sean Sherk, its all about damage.
